INGREDIENTS:

* 2 onions, finely chopped

* 2 to 3 pieces of chicken (1/2 chicken or 1 chicken breast or 2 chicken legs)

* 250g mince meat

* 4 cloves of garlic, crushed

* Ginger

* 1 bouquet coriander

* Parsley, chopped

* Jamaican pepper (kebaba)

* Salt

* Black pepper

* Olive oil

* 2 eggs

* 50g butter

* Cheese

* Filo sheets

For the bechamel:

* 40 g Flour

* 40 g Butter

* 1/2 l Milk

* Salt and pepper

REPARATION:

Chicken:

Lightly fry the chopped onion in olive oil, add chicken pieces, salt, pepper, and chopped coriander. Add ginger powder, kebaba and water (pour over just enough to cover the chicken pieces). Bring to the boil, turn down to a slow simmer, cover and leave to cook for about 30 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and leave to cool. Keep the poaching liquid on the side. Remove the skin from the chicken and shred the flesh, discarding all the bones. Preheat the oven to 180 deg C gas mark 4.

Mince:

Gently fry the chopped onion in olive oil, add mince meat, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.

Bechamel:

Prepare the bechamel sauce as usual.

Eggs:

Cook the eggs as an omelette or cook in chicken sauce by first reducing the poaching liquid to about 100ml by fast-boiling. Then take the broth off the heat. Beat the eggs until they are frothy. Stir the beaten eggs into the broth. Return the pan to the lowest possible heat and stir constantly for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens sufficiently to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Check the seasoning.

Melt the remaining butter over a low heat. Take a small ovenproof dish and grease lightly. Lay a sheet of filo across it, letting the edges hang over.

Scatter the shredded chicken over the pastry, bechamel, mince, the egg sauce then grated cheese. Fold in the edges of filo, brushing the surface lightly with butter. Carefully invert the pies onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until crispy golden and serve absolutely hot.

They look lovely Amina. You've given me some inspiration. Here I was fretting over what to cook today...

[Amina-DZ]

I know the feeling!! They are very easy to make and my brothers love them

I hope my brothers will appreciate them too. I like to make something nice for everyone on Jumuah. All they get at the masjid is a banana
